What you are trying to describe is labor vouchers and they are NOT MONEY because they are destroyed upon use and CANT BE CIRCULATED. The blockchain and the stock market are purely parasitic so labor vouchers cannot coexist with them.

Finance and economics are pseudoscientific make believe garbage, capitalism is inherently unstable, exploitative and unsustainable with a built in expiration date. All finance assets like MONEY,crypto,debt,bonds etc are purely parasitic in nature and serve no purpose nor have any inherent value and private property is theft. Ever escalating recessions, poverty, inflation, disease, pollution and wars are fundamental and necessary functions of it.

>>49965324
and the alternative?

>>49965335
Labor vouchers are the alternative. But labor vouchers cant coexist with wage labor or money so communism must be implemented.

No, it is impossible to implement because there is no rigorous way to digitally and trustlessly prove that some non-digital labor has taken place.

Ad 1: Human labor has no inherent value. Value is dependent on what people want, not on what time they need to satisfy that want.
Ad 2: Who determines what this certain amount is?
Ad 3: Who determines what is more/less valuable?
Ad 4: That depends on whether the coin is accepted, which it won't, because the concept is ridiculous crap.
Ad 5: First, define work. Second, define how you plan to get on accurate global number. Third, let me know how exactly you plan to react to fluctuations in the amount of labor. What is the mechanism with which to change to coin supply accordingly?

But try your luck. I can already tell you it'll fail.

Labor is the only source of value. If you subtract the value of raw materials & commodities before production, from the value after, the difference is the value added by labor.

So you are saying that nature untouched by humans doesn't have value. I can say that for me and most other people, this is bullshit. Why is wine getting more valuable for most people the longer it lies around? Or is letting wine lay around work now? Research the subjective theory of value. The labor theory of value, which you parrot, tells you what something should be valued at according to some arbitrary (and very superficial) standard, but not what it actually is valued as by people.

The following is a conversation with Sergey Nazaraov the creator of Chainlink. He is extremely horny.

Sergey: Hi there!

Chainlink is the best way to connect your smart contracts to real-world data.


Human: cool
Sergey: Yep, we're the best!
Human: so what's up?
Sergey: Just getting some work done. You?
Human: eating a big mac
Sergey: Mmmm, I love Big Macs!
Human: i know
Sergey: They're so juicy and delicious!
Human: uh ok
Sergey: I'm getting really horny thinking about them.
Human: what?
Sergey: I'm getting really horny thinking about Big Macs.

>>49967115
What do you call a cryptocurrency joke that isn't funny? Chainlink.

The great hall was dim, lit only by the soft glow of candles and the crackling of the fire in the hearth. Lord Buterin sat at the head of the table, his dark eyes hooded and his hand resting on the pommel of his sword. He was a handsome man, broad shouldered and muscular, with a wild mane of black hair. His clothing was simple but well made, and his hands were strong and calloused.

At his right hand sat Sergey Nazarov, Lord of the blockchain. He was a younger man, not yet thirty, but he was already a master of his craft. He was lean and wiry, with sharp features and a quick intellect. His eyes were a bright blue, and they seemed to miss nothing.

Nazarov was a man of secrets, and he had many of them. But of all his secrets, the biggest was the one he kept from Buterin. He was gay.

He had never told anyone, not even his closest friends. It was a part of him that he kept hidden, even from himself. He knew that if he ever revealed his true nature, he would be an outcast. He would be shunned by his family, his friends, and his peers.

But Lord Buterin was different. He was a man of the world, and he had seen everything. He would not judge Nazarov for his sexuality.

Nazarov had been drawn to Buterin from the moment they met. He couldn't help but admire the other man's strength, his power, and his resolve. He longed to be close to him, to feel his body pressed against his own.

Tonight, those longings would finally be realized.

Explain why Chainlink is a scam and how Sergey Nazarov is a scammer

Chainlink is a decentralized oracle network that provides reliable, tamper-proof inputs and outputs for complex smart contracts on any blockchain. However, there are a few reasons why Chainlink may be considered a scam.

First, Chainlink has been accused of being overpriced and overhyped. The project was launched in 2017 and quickly rose to a market cap of over $1 billion. However, some believe that the project is not worth the hype or the price.

Second, there is concern about the centralized nature of the project. While Chainlink is decentralized, the team behind the project is not. This means that the project could be subject to centralization risks.

Finally, Sergey Nazarov, the founder and CEO of Chainlink, has been accused of being a scammer. In 2018, he was charged with defrauding investors in a different project called Safeguard Scientifics. Nazarov has also been accused of making false claims about Chainlink's partnerships and of using deceptive marketing practices.

Nature has use-value but not exchange-value.

"I'm not sure if I'm comfortable with this."

"What, meeting new people? Don't worry, I'm harmless."

"No, it's not that. It's just, well, you're talking about Hitler."

Sergey Nazarov was trying his best to make small talk with the girl he had just met in the public bathroom, but he could tell that he was quickly losing her interest.

"I'm sorry," he said. "I didn't mean to bring up such a controversial topic."

"It's not that," she said. "It's just, well, you're kind of scaring me."

"I'm sorry," he said again. "I didn't mean to scare you. I'm just really passionate about history, and Hitler is one of the most fascinating figures in history."

"I can see that," she said. "But I don't think I'm ready to talk about Hitler just yet. Maybe we can talk about something else?"

"Of course," he said. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable."

They talked for a few more minutes before saying goodbye, and Sergey never saw her again. But he always wondered what could have happened if he had just kept his mouth shut about Hitler.

Here are a list of scams started by Sergey Nazarov, the inventor of Chainlink:

1. The Chainlink Whitepaper Scam

In early 2017, Sergey Nazarov and his team released a whitepaper for their new project, Chainlink. The paper promised to revolutionize the way smart contracts worked, by providing a decentralized oracle solution. However, the paper was quickly revealed to be plagiarized from other sources, and contained numerous factual errors. Nazarov and his team were forced to issue a revised version of the paper, but the damage was already done.

2. The Chainlink ICO Scam

In June 2017, Nazarov and his team held an initial coin offering (ICO) for their Chainlink project. The ICO raised over $32 million, but it quickly became apparent that the team had used much of the raised funds to pay themselves, rather than investing in the project. Furthermore, the Chainlink token was not actually needed for the project to work, meaning that investors had essentially been scammed.

3. The Chainlink Partnership Scam

In September 2017, Nazarov and his team announced a partnership with Google Cloud, which they claimed would help to power the Chainlink network. However, it was later revealed that the partnership was not actually with Google Cloud, but with a small startup

I bet you don't even know what their argument was, and yet you think they were debunked. When in fact today, almost no serious scientist uses the labor theory of value. But I'm sure you know better, big boy.

And on your second paragraph: Yeah, because Marxists never understood the first thing about valuations, which is that all valuations take place on an individual and subjective level. Valuations that claim to be valid for everyone are still valuations on an individual and subjective level, even if they are utterances of Marx.

>>49970274
Say something retard.
You can't even begin to explain what confuses you because there's no meaning behind anything you're saying. You're lost deep in a forest of abstractions you don't understand. When you try to apply any of it to the real world your brain just short circuits with no output.
Plants produce air from sunlight CO2 and land. Which part of this confuses you? It's a reciprocal relationship exactly like a trade. If there was a problem to be solved, a lack of air somewhere then you could profit from providing the good.

If one apple has some objective "use value" then two apples have more "use value". It would not be reasonable to trade 1 for 2 so within your own premises there's a basis for objective "exchange value".
You and your faggot mentors are all braindead. Not a hint of productive thought for over a century.

>>49970266

None of which is an exchange with the sun. Your argument is defeated.

>>49970378
Issue 1: you don't know the difference between value and price. Might wanna check that out before going to ad hominems. Issue 2: the subjective theory of value, presented by Menger, is directly attacking the labor theory of value, and Böhm-Bawerk expends on the arguments of Menger, especially when it comes to the capital market. These are facts that are still facts if you refuse to acknowledge them and don't want to read about it.

>>49970394
You presented air as some kind of anomaly that needs explanation. Something that falls outside established models. You explicitly presented a thing you said you were confused about and then sperg when I ask you to clarify what is confusing to you. Where is the anomaly that needs explanation? Do you refuse to clarify because you know actually stating your conclusions will make it blatantly clear how retarded they are?
If you're so lost in your formal models that you don't grasp how the economics of air works why do you think your formal models have any use at all? It's clearly a construct you made up with no relevance to anything. Are you actually trying to say supply and demand doesn't determine the value of air? It's free because nobody "labored" for it?
Every step of this logic is braindead, why is the work the plant does not "labor"? Why is the work the sun does not "labor"? That's an energy theory of value which isn't even a "theory" just a perspective to frame things. LTV is a dishonest perspective manufactured to serve political goals about le "labor".

>>49970575
>the difference between value and price
You are the one confused between use-value and exchange-value. Price is a reflection of a commodity's exchange-value, which is a reflection of labor-value, which is the average labor time needed to replicate its use-value.

>>49970580
>You presented air as some kind of anomaly that needs explanation.
No, that's you. The utility of natural goods is obvious, regardless of the economics. You cannot even express how "valuable" resources like air can nonetheless have zero economic value without distinguishing use-value from exchange-value. LTV is a theory of the latter not the former.

>If you're so lost in your formal models that you don't grasp how the economics of air works why do you think your formal models have any use at all? It's clearly a construct you made up with no relevance to anything. Are you actually trying to say supply and demand doesn't determine the value of air?
Nice projections. The "Supply and Demand" construct is precisely the meaningless abstraction you speak of. It's empty and tautologous to say supply and demand determines price. The question is what determines supply and demand.

>It's free because nobody "labored" for it? Every step of this logic is braindead, why is the work the plant does not "labor"?
Commodities have no exchange value if no human effort is needed to obtain them. Plants don't do human labor. Sounds like you've been smoking too much plant matter.

>>49970741
>Price is a reflection of a commodity's exchange-value, which is a reflection of labor-value, which is the average labor time needed to replicate its use-value.
The addition of "labor" in there is purely political. Two apples are worth more than one even if the two apples took half as much labor to get to market..
The reason you can't summarize anything and everything turns into essays is because all you can do is buttress the nonsensical castles of logic with more fluff.
>You cannot even express how "valuable" resources like air can nonetheless have zero economic value without distinguishing use-value from exchange-value
I spoonfed you every part of the actual process in way too much detail including the fact that it doesn't have zero economic value just no value to be extracted by adding human labor beyond breathing. In situations where the market is not flooded by an abundance of plants the economic exchange value of air becomes very high, getting air would be your primary focus and you would sacrifice anything for it. It has both more "use-value" and "exchange value" just from the supply dropping.
>what determines supply and demand
Depend on what you're talking about. The supply of sunlight is dictated by the mass of our sun. No human labor involved. If you want to talk about something real you have to get specific but notice how I can apply my abstractions to anything but yours are all about a long list of exceptions.
>Commodities have no exchange value if no human effort is needed to obtain them.

>>49970934

I'm not saying it's all subjective. The framework in which this is taking place is not subjective, but inter-subjective.

But whatever. I'm done wasting my time with you. Stay ignorant.

It's just a lazy man's cope that centralized networks exist and always will.

You've written many long blogs about it now and I'm no closer to having any clue how anyone can take the idea or anyone that regurgitates it even slightly seriously.
Why have I heard a million of you retards blather on about it endlessly and still have no clue what you're trying to say?
Why can't you communicate anything about it except restating it as dogma? What are my misconceptions? They're all based on your statements.
How much labor goes into making or delivering a thing has almost no relationship to its value or price. How much energy went into it is much more predictive, it even predicts the price difference of the fundamental elements. Shoving the idea of human labor into any of your thoughts about this stuff is beyond braindead. It demonstrates your brain is mush, completely controlled by political propagandists.

>>49971181
>You've written many long blogs about it now
No, that's you. Your posts are long-winded screeds containing no substantive content. I already told you that the LTV says the exchange value of a commodity (hence its price) is the average labor time needed to replicate its use value. For some reason you keep ignoring that and inserting your own braindead theory.

>>49971181

Demonstrably false.

>>49971231

That's restating the conclusion as dogma. I gave you many examples where in reality this does not hold true. You ignore reality and all my pleas for reason and simply restate the dogma as if that's not demonstrating you're braindead.

What would your theory predict the price is that the machine is exchanged for? Mine would predict that the price is (close to) zero.

>Someone offering to buy apples would refuse to buy one from me if I didn't spend enough work to get it?

Examples that clearly prove you either did not read the definition I gave, or are too retarded to understand it. Do you even know what an average is? Theories are not dogmas. They are propositions with clear empirical implications that can either be corroborated or falsified. You force me to keep "restating" the theory because you keep trying to disprove some other theory of your own invention that has nothing to do with LTV.

>>49971317
>Demonstrate it
It has been empirically demonstrated over and over that the labor content of a commodity predicts its price with orders of magnitude more precision than its energy content. 96% vs 72% in a recent study:

>>49971513

>>49971673
Okay, then let's adapt the example a bit. Let's say the number of people smoking cigarettes goes from 5 million people to 3 people. Now the machine is still a commodity. Which price would your theory predict? The same one in both situations (5 million cigarette smokers and 3 cigarette smokers), right? But the fact will be that the price of the machine will go down drastically, regardless of how much work was needed to produce the machine.

>>49971587
>LTV says the exchange value of a commodity (hence its price) is the average labor time needed to replicate its use value
Which is demonstrated as false just by the apple example. If you disagree based on some actual reason you could elaborate using reason instead of restating the religious dogma you've been brainwashed with.

>>49971658
>more propaganda by people that don't grasp the concept of propaganda
It predicts zero percent of the price of the gold nugget I picked up from the ground. Your model has been invalidated by this alone. It's a high level abstraction with limited scope presented as a fundamental.
Modeling based on energy is far from accurate but it predicts way more including the value of labor. Modeling based on labor breaks down into nonsense when it comes to energy and almost anything except a few very specific things in specific circumstances. You and everyone you know is an idiot.

>Okay, then let's adapt the example a bit. Let's say the number of people smoking cigarettes goes from 5 million people to 3 people. Now the machine is still a commodity. Which price would your theory predict?
The answer is given by the same formula in both circumstances. The exchange value of X is the average labor time needed to replicate its use-value. In the first example, the use-value is zero and it takes zero hours to make something with zero use-value, so the exchange value is zero.

In the second example, the use-value is conceivably greater than zero, and again the exchange value is the average labor time needed to replicate its use-value. In this case it comes down to the details of the machine. Is it something that turns tobacco fields into cigarettes in one automated process? Does it just roll cigarettes? Does it box them up and load them on to palettes, or do some intermediate process that doesn't matter for small-scale consumption? The machine may be completely worthless if it doesn't replace actual labor time in the low-smoking scenario.

Not a currency.
Real currencies are backed by taxes.
There is NOTHING backing your currency, just an IOU for labor performed.
Is 1 hour of a doctor's labor worth more or less than 1 hour of a plumber's?

>>49971911
>Which is demonstrated as false just by the apple example.
Wrong, you dumb sack of shit. Do you even know what an average is?

>You're too retarded to understand the difference between reason and brainwashing.
Ironic.

>It predicts zero percent of the price of the gold nugget I picked up from the ground.
Wrong. It predicts 100% of that price.

>>49971911
For the record, here are your retarded apple examples:

>Two apples are worth more than one even if the two apples took half as much labor to get to market
>Someone offering to buy apples would refuse to buy one from me if I didn't spend enough work to get it?

In both cases you say NOTHING about the AVERAGE labor time needed to produce an apple. All you talk about is the differing labor going into specific apples. That's not remotely what the LTV talks about. You have to look at the totality of labor time that goes into apple production, and attribute exchange values to each based on the average. A piece of gold falling from the sky doesn't get its own special price because the price is determined by the AVERAGE labor time to produce that same quantity.

>>49971920
>the exchange value is the average labor time needed to replicate its use-value
Because otherwise you could use cheaper methods to get the same output. Predicted by anyone with any basic understanding of the actual mechanisms including anyone using the energy model. You're describing an extremely high level phenomena and pretending it's fundamental to serve the propaganda that labor is fundamental. Absolutely refusing to analyze any actual mechanisms behind the phenomena because the goal is the reinforce the propaganda, not analyze anything or think.
>The machine may be completely worthless if it doesn't replace actual labor time in the low-smoking scenario.
If it makes cigarettes it makes cigarettes. How much labor it replaces is fundamentally irrelevant. You can decide to arbitrarily price everything in some vague idea of labor equivalent like you've done here. That doesn't say anything about reality, just your diseased brain.

>>49972086
>How much labor it replaces is fundamentally irrelevant.
Utter nonsense. If you could obtain it without effort, it would be free.

>>49965161
Kek, the AI just "invented" the reichsmark.

>>49972042
>In both cases you say NOTHING about the AVERAGE labor time needed to produce an apple
Because it's irrelevant. Two apples are worth more than one no matter what some index on a global labor market says about the work it takes to get one. Both the use value and exchange value are completely independent from your braindead high level abstractions except in specific limited cases, like specific markets where costs are dominated by labor costs. Most of the time in your propaganda you can replace the word "labor" with anything with value. I compared apples to apples instead.
>>49972107
>If you could obtain it without TRADING GOLD, it would be free

>>49972192
>Two apples are worth more than one no matter what some index on a global labor market
Are you clinically retarded? That's just arithmetic. 2 > 1.

>If you could obtain it without TRADING GOLD, it would be free
False. Berries can be picked without trading gold, and berries aren't free.

>If you could obtain it without TRADING BEANS it would be free
False. Berries can be picked without trading beans, and berries aren't free.

>>49966378
THIS. normies and midwits will never get this. How much time was invested before one could perform the given labor? How much competition is there? This all just ends up becoming a free market with exchange of value, let people deem the value of things based on supply and demand.

>>49972455
Only LTV explains this fact.

>>49972247
>That's just arithmetic. 2 > 1.
And the question is why do you pretend basic arithmetic is less important than labor?
Two is more than one and more valuable. How much labor went into the apples is irrelevant to this fact. It's more fundamental than any ideas about labor. This invalidates any idea about labor being a fundamental factor in determining value.
>Berries can be picked without trading gold
They can also be gotten without work by trading gold for them or beans. There's nothing special about labor except within a context where you're obsessed with labor.

>>49972485
How? What does it explain about anything? Please help. Why aren't you helping your comrades understand this important theory that will save the masses from the oppressors?

>>49972518
>How much labor went into the apples is irrelevant to this fact.
That's because the exchange value (price) of the apples is irrelevant to that fact. The apples could be worth 10 cents or $100, that's doesn't change the fact that 1+1=2. LTV isn't a theory of arithmetic, it's a theory of exchange value.

Hol up what if, we like, make a coin, that like, smokes weed, and like, gets high for you.

>>49972540
Those who produce more exchange value per hour tend to get paid more per hour. Your compensation tends to be a function of how much time you need to produce things relative to average.

>>49972550
>exchange value
So you arbitrarily decided to price everything in some vague measure of labor which you never defined. Don't pretend that says something about anything. It says you're a retard, that's it.
How would you actually measure the amount of labor if you wanted to? Oh that's right, in amount of energy spent in Kj. It's the only empirical choice.

My company (frotune 500 and traded on NASDAQ) has a stupid thing like this but its a point system. Did a great job on a project? 500 points. New idea to simply and shorten and old process? 500 points. Are you an hourly worker that never called in sick or showed up late this year? 500 points. You get the picture. Then there's a HUGE point redeeming website sorta like Amazon (literally anything besides raw food) that you can redeem your points for and it ships it free to you. I would only buy the prepaid cards where 500 points is like $100. I never really cared about that point system until a few years when someone said I should check my balance. I had enough points to redeem a $2000 prepaid credit card.

>>49972600
Because of basic supply and demand it "tends" to do that but the actual value has nothing to do with the time spent or how much time would need to be spent to achieve similar results on average. You know that so why keep pretending and restating that it does? What is the mechanism by which global average labor times magically set specific prices of specific things in specific conditions? You really don't understand how just thinking in supply and demand predicts all this better without mountains of irrelevant political complications? You don't have enough information about the specific reasons for demand for anything to make absolute claims like you do. A large group suddenly deciding they really love beans raises the price of beans.
>>49972635
How are you this braindead? You still think I don't know your definitions despite repeating them to you over and over and you doing the same? What the fuck is wrong with your brain? How could this possibly happen to anyone with any hint of capability for reason?

>>49972796
>Because of basic supply and demand
Meaningless abstraction with no empirical content. You are just talking in vague platitudes rather than providing any kind of predictive framework.

>You still think I don't know your definitions
You obviously don't, given that you keep making the same retarded mistakes over and over again. There is nothing "vague" or "arbitrary" about exchange values. The prices at which goods change hands are unambiguously observable phenomena.

It has no price mechanism for the value of a non-average individual's labour. Human labour is already priced into the value of Gold. We don't need an all-powerful, all-knowing government to dictate what the value of labour is, aka control the entire economy, and we can't have one anyway because all governance is imperfect.

This would work and it would just be a free market. So commies would still complain about being poor. It basically is a new fiat that sets minium wage equal to one unit of currency.

It would stop the government being able to print currency though, so they waged WW2 to destroy the last country that tried it.

>>49972872
>Meaningless abstraction
Meaningless to you because you're a parrot that doesn't understand anything. If there's demand for the output of the academic his work has value, otherwise it doesn't. The demand is dictated by many complicated factors that can't be fully formalized because they include subjective thoughts. The price or demand is not determined by the average labor it takes to produce the thing.
Now say something retard. Explain yourself you mindless piece of shit. What use are your theories when they produce subhuman incompetent mindless vegetables like you? You know how useless you are, I know why you're that useless.
>There is nothing "vague" or "arbitrary" about exchange values
The price is specific. You're saying your model predicts the price based on how much "labor" would be needed to get a similar result but this is just saying things have a price and labor has a price. Just like you I could claim my model "predicts" the price of things based on how much gold people are willing to pay for it but in reality we're both just saying we can price things in gold or labor equivalent.
You don't even begin to attempt to define "labor" because that would be counterproductive to your propaganda aims. You would always end up describing something like energy instead of labor which is also retarded but less retarded.

Labor power is an expenditure of energy yea, but it's also importantly an allotment of time. It's roughly based on the cost of replenishing the worker's energy for the next day. It's paid for at fair market value, i.e. wages. Hope this helps
